The small island of Lastovo, located far out in the Adriatic, is a harsh but worthwhile destination. Declared a National Nature Park in 2006, sparse, barren Lastovo warmly welcomes visitors who arrive by ferry from Split, Hvar and Vela Luka to its port of Ubli. At the other end of the island, the craggy main village of Lastovo houses a small scattering of outlets catering to tourists.
